From what my friend, a networking major has told me, I would probably need a long list of text commands if I ever wanted to use Linux. Computers are not something I know well.

...and many people hate the new Unity desktop.

Count me among them. Slow and buggy. I finally gave up on it and switched my main Ubuntu desktop back to a Gnome "classic" shell/gui.

Still considering jumping entirely to Mepis with a KDE 4.x shell/gui...

A fair chunk of casual browsing is moving to tablets running ios or android, and android is really a flavor wrapper on top of linux.

Quite enjoying Gnome 3.2. There are two issues with it.

- It’s a new paradigm and change is always hard.
- The tools haven’t quite caught up to where they need to be so tweaking it to get the behavior you want is not as easy as it will be as it subsequently matures.
